As I am currently studying in UK, I don't think I will receive notifications from them and PTPTN is already asking me to start paying them back.

I was told that the certificate will be sent to Lembaga around December but I am quite clueless now as to its whereabouts.

I thought you needed the transcripts in the first for you to transfer?? credit transfer?

I completed my degree with UoL before I come to UK for BPTC.
Hence the mess.

My college said they will help me to apply for exemption but I will first need to pass them the official transcript once I receives them.

May be you can use your current BPTC transcripts to defer it further. Have you tried?

How much will you pay a First Class graduate to mark your scripts? The marking will involves critical comments and some headlines for improvements.

Happy Chinese New Year to friends who are celebrating!

I am interested in distant learning UOL since I have a baby girl to care for. Any friends here did this?

The reason that I want to do law after graduated with a Bachelor of Science (8 years ago) is that I hope to secure a better income rather than just get a RM 3 k ++ with increment of RM 200 each year.

Friends, do you mind sharing with me the following?

1. How long does it take usually to pass CLP after finish LLB?
2. Income range for a fresh lawyer then 3 years , 5 years and 10 years. ( I am in Kuantan)(If no info abt Kuantan market, what about KL Selangor)

I like this thread and it helps me a lot while I am gathering info for further study.

Thank you very much!

1. 1 year? Of course you might need more if you fail your first attempt.
2. Big firms offer up to 3.5k for fresh lawyer. Increment can be more than 10% every year. For example, look at Thomas Phillips: http://www.thomasphilip.com.my/careers/remuneration

I really don't agree with Messrs Thomas Philip's need to display their salary structure for associates on their website. Not very professional. And even though they may think the salary structure is high, the package is still lower than a few other KL/Selangor firms and quite pathetic in comparison to lawyers' salary in other common law countries like Singapore or UK (on a dollar to dollar basis, not converted). Dont see why they should be so proud of it.

Well, no harm showing the price structure I guess. I have seen a few international firms displaying their price structure on their website too.

Thank you for your reply! Does lawyer mean has to finish CLP and chambering? If I only finish LLB, can I work in law firm with the type of salary scale?

Yes, provided you have completed your 2 years training contract in UK beforehand. I could be wrong. The difficulties involved in securing a training contract often deter students to go for BPTC instead of LPC.

If you have only done LLB, I suppose you can be a supporting staff in the firm. Of course, the salary will not be as lucrative(lawyer's salary are not lucrative to start with) as lawyers. Otherwise, who wants to sit for CLP.

This is called transparency. Most of Malaysians will never understand it as this a dirty and corrupted country.

don't get me wrong. but all the aspirations you have of becoming a lawyer is based on the assumption that you will pass CLP at the first go. What if you don't? Don't get me wrong. I've seen first class students in their respective UK universities flunk their CLP left right and centre. It's like a russian roulette. Doing CLP is a big commitment by itself. Unless you can ensure yourself to be able to coup up with the exam pressure not to mention the possibility of resitting the exam several times.
